The team of RRR shared the poster with the box office milestone featuring on it on Instagram and Alia Bhatt took to the comments section to share her reaction. “Wohooooooo,” she wrote, adding a series of raised hands emojis.
RRR is a fictional period drama revolving around two Indian freedom fighters from the early 20th century. While Ram Charan plays the role of Alluri Sitarama, Jr NTR is tasked with the role of Kumaram Bheem. The film also featured cameos by Bollywood actors Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn.
Recently, the team of RRR was seen attending a success party in Mumbai. The massive bash was attended by Karan Johar, Ayan Mukerji and Aamir Khan, among other actors and stars from the industry. During the bash, Jr NTR — also known as Tarak — expressed his wish for a RRR sequel. “Rajamouli sir needs to make RRR 2,” Tarak said, adding that there needs to be “a conclusion to this story.” He also joked that the filmmaker is under immense pressure to make a sequel.
Rajamouli, at the same event, said that he is still trying to “cool off from the heat which the movie generated,” as reported by Hindustan Times. The director added, “Let it cool down. Of course, for me it would be a great pleasure, not because of what it’ll do at the box office, but because I will have more time to spend with my brothers. That’ll be more exciting for me. But let time unravel what we have.”
